“Potter, Essence of Katy is a simple potion. You and Weasley try not to screw it up. I don’t want to give you two remedial potions lessons!” Snape snapped.
“Yes, Sir,” Harry and Ron grumbled.
“Harry, have any gold? I, um, ran out,” Ron asked quietly. Harry felt a wave of pity for his friend.
“Sure, mate,” Harry replied as he added a dash of gold powder to his cauldron, along with a splash of liquid sarcasm. Ron grabbed the teaspoon of strawberries and was about to eat them when Harry grabbed them back.
“Ron, we need those strawberries for the potion!” Harry explained, laughing at his friend’s insatiable appetite. Ron regrettably tossed the strawberries into the cauldron and Harry lit a fire. The potion didn’t take long to boil, but it took an extremely long time for the potion to cool. As Snape was walking over to give them failing grades, a girl with strawberry-blonde hair appeared.
“Sorry to disappoint you, Professor. I was just making myself look nice. You won’t have to spend your evenings giving remedial potions lessons. You can do what you always do – knit by the fire!” Katy explained. The entire class burst out laughing. |
